OK, you have had your rant. I've long wanted to build a pedal powered Mercedes C-111 based on the paper model printed in Motor Trend magazine from the early 70's. The weight and air drag are major drawbacks. A human powered/electric hybrid could be legal for speeds of less than 45 mph. Check your local laws. For cheap and easy a tandem trike with fairings could be build for less than $1000 USD.
